Water skiing was invented by American Ralph Samuelson in 1922 and the first contest was held in 1935 on Long Island, where the first national championship tournament was also staged four years later.

Water skiing is a sport and recreational activity invented in France in the () and popular in many countries around the world where appropriate conditions exist - an expanse of water unaffected by wave motion. Rivers, lakes, and sheltered bays are all popular for water skiing. Standard water skis, originally made of wood but now usually constructed out of fibreglass -based composites , are of similar length to downhill snow skis but are somewhat wider. Instead of a rigid binding, they have rubber mouldings in which the feet are placed. Skiiers are pulled along by a rope with a handle fitted at one end and attached to a powerboat at the other. Recreational skiers usually learn to ski with a ski on each foot, but as they improve usually progress to using a single ski, placing the other foot into another binding behind the main one. Beginners on two skis are usually pulled along at around 25-35 kilometres per hour, whereas more advanced social skiiers travel at between 40 and 55 kilometres per hour - once confidence is gained it is actually easier to travel faster than at slower speeds because of the greater lift and stability.
USA Water Ski Profile As a recreational Sport. Throughout its history water skiing has closely paralleledthe development of recreational boating in its appeal to the general public. http://www.usawaterski.org/pages/USA-WS Profile.htm
Extractions: The Beginning Water skiing was invented in the United States in 1922 when Minnesotan Ralph Samuelson built the first pair of skis and was towed on them behind an outboard-powered boat. What Samuelson originated became an exhibition sport on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1920s and early 1930s. It developed officially into a competitive sport in 1939 when the American Water Ski Association (AWSA) was organized and held the first annual National Water Ski Championships at Jones Beach, Long Island, New York. As a Recreational Sport Throughout its history water skiing has closely paralleled the development of recreational boating in its appeal to the general public. Over the years it has shown almost continuous, sustained growth. Surveys of sports participation show that there are roughly 11 million water skiers in the United States. The Competitive Sport Interest in competitive water skiing has grown considerably over the years and continues to attract many more enthusiasts. USA Water Ski now sanctions more than 800 tournaments each season. These range from small, local events for novices to national and world-level tournaments for more experienced competitors. Male and female skiers of all ages can compete in traditional three-event (slalom, tricks, jumping) tournaments, as well as in tournaments for barefoot, kneeboard, show ski, collegiate, ski race, wakeboard and physically challenged skiers.

Extractions: From the time Ralph Samuelson strapped on the first water skis in 1922, watersports have increased in popularity. Originally an exhibition sport, water skiing became a competitive sport in 1939 with the development of the American Water Ski Association (USA Water Ski). Today there are almost 11 million water skiers in the United States alone, and thousands more learning each year. The slalom course contains six buoys on alternating sides that the skier must successfully go around while the boat stays on a straight path. The difficulty comes when the rope is shortened, then it is more challenging for the skier to wrap around the buoy. The shorter the rope, the faster you must travel to successfully get from one buoy to the next. The intense acceleration and rocket-like speeds that occur while chasing down the next buoy down are amazing. Wakeboarding Although water skiing and wakeboarding are the more popular activities, there are other water sports that will equally challenge you in the area of balance, edge control, speed, and physical demand. One example is barefooting: It has become a well-recognized sport since it started as a stunt in 1947. With the help of barefoot booms, padded wetsuits and other equipment, anybody can learn to barefoot ski.
